Letter from Jenny Moxham About Priest's Continued Support for Mulesing - September 18, 2008

To the Bombola Times:

Influencing The Young

In the South East of Australia, outspoken anti-People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals priest Father Mick MacAndrew used a visit to his parish by
38 South Korean pilgrims to continue promoting a positive image for Australian
wool and lamb.

Father Mick (as he is affectionately known in the Bombala-Delegate parish)
prepared pamphlets translated into Korean explaining the
pro-mulesing case against "animal welfare extremists" and urging visitors to
share what they’d learned on local wool-growing properties with congregations
back home in Korea.

Blessing the Tools of Torture

Father Mick is hopeful that all religious groups will support farmers,
especially wool growers on a single day of prayer on October 5th.

Father Mick is envisioning a blessing of mulesing tools, as well as a
blessing of the shears, the shearers and the farmers.

He intends writing to as many churches as he can and asking them to be
involved, not only the Christian family, but the Hindus and Buddhists because
PETA attacked them too.
